Default How do I remove the Cluster Finish Panel Assembly?

Alright, after 3 mos., an additional $3200 and now pursuing legal action against a dealer, I am on the road with the $10000 2002 Prius. I have the replacement cluster finish panel assembly in hand. How do I remove the old one? I would really like to do this without dinging up the interior.

Thanks

Just use the search function on this website. There are numerous detailed posts on how to take apart the dash on these cars. Pretty simple, really. most of it snaps on and off. Just take your time and it should be OK.

Yeah, I found one from the guy who does the aftermarket NAV and DVD player. I fixed the audio functionality and was hoping to have the NAV system and maintenance menus active again. I saw the menu for the maintenance briefly, now I have a Japanese screen with a few English words saying "incompatible data" and "please insert system disk".

I had actually opened up the player and cleaned it and the disk before all of this when I had gotten the same thing. It recognizes there is a disk as it also knows when there is no disk, so I assume the DVD system is operational. You can also hear it spin up when the disk is loaded.

Help?

Be careful. At least with the 2001 like I have It just doesn't snap off. There are 2 nuts you need to take off under the emergency flasher panel assembly. Seems like there were a couple screws near the bottom too. I broke mine because I didn't see the nuts. The whole thing seems flimsy and a poor design in my opinion so take care.
